Tensioning or pipe clamp

Abstract

The invention relates a tensioning or pipe clamp with a housing ( 22 ) comprising a longitudinal slot ( 23 ), wherein the regions of the housing ( 22 ) lying opposite one another at the longitudinal slot ( 23 ) are constituted as bent brackets ( 24, 26 ), and with a tensioning mechanism ( 32 ) for tightening the housing ( 22 ). The tensioning mechanism ( 32 ) comprises a first bolt ( 33 ) and a second bolt ( 35 ), which are each provided in the brackets ( 24, 26 ), and a tensioning means ( 36 ) which is held in the first bolt ( 33 ) and can be swivelled relative to the second bolt ( 35 ). The tensioning mechanism ( 32 ) also comprises a distance part ( 42 ), which comprises a contact section ( 43 ) which can be brought into contact with a contact region ( 40 ) of the second bolt ( 35 ), and a feed-through opening ( 46 ) for the tensioning means ( 36 ), said feed-through opening being spaced apart from the contact section ( 43 ) of the distance part ( 42 ).

         12 . A tensioning or pipe clamp with a deformable housing comprising at least one longitudinal slot, wherein the regions of the housing lying opposite one another at the longitudinal slot are constituted as bent brackets, and with a tensioning mechanism for tightening the housing, wherein the tensioning mechanism comprises a first bolt and a second bolt, which are each provided in the brackets, and at least one tensioning means extending transversely through the first bolt, which tensioning means is held in or on the first bolt and can be swivelled relative to the second bolt, characterised in that the tensioning mechanism also comprises a distance part, which comprises a contact section, which in the tightened stated of the tensioning or pipe clamp can be brought into contact with a contact region of the second bolt, and a feed-through opening for the tensioning means, said feed-through opening being spaced apart from the contact section of the distance part. 
     
     
         13 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that a rear-grip section for the zonal rear-gripping of the second bolt in the tightened state of the tensioning or pipe clamp is provided on the distance part adjacent to the contact section of the distance part. 
     
     
         14 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the contact region of the second bolt is flattened at least zonally. 
     
     
         15 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the distance part comprises a first leg and a second leg set off at an angle with respect to the first leg, wherein the contact section of the distance part and advantageously also the feed-through opening of the distance part are provided in the first leg of the distance part. 
     
     
         16 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 15 , characterised in that the second leg of the distance part has a longitudinal extension (L) which is greater than the sum (A) of the spacing between the first bolt and the second bolt in the non-tightened state of the tensioning or pipe clamp and the diameter of one of the bolts. 
     
     
         17 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the tensioning mechanism comprises at least two tensioning means, wherein at least one of the tensioning means comprises a distance part. 
     
     
         18 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the tensioning mechanism comprises at least three tensioning means, wherein at least one tensioning means, advantageously the central one, comprises a distance part. 
     
     
         19 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 17 , characterised in that at least one alignment element is provided, which is mounted in or on at least two distance elements disposed adjacent to one another. 
     
     
         20 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 17 , characterised in that the first bolt is constituted multi-part in its extension, wherein each tensioning means is advantageously held in a separate bolt part. 
     
     
         21 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 12 , characterised in that at least one threaded section for the at least one tensioning means is provided in the first bolt, wherein the first bolt is advantageously a hollow bolt, in which at least one threaded part with a threaded section for the at least one tensioning means is also advantageously disposed. 
     
     
         22 . The tensioning or pipe clamp according to  claim 13 , characterised in that the rear-grip section of the distance part has a smaller material thickness than the contact section of the distance part.
